Structural battery composites are designed to bear loads and store electrical energy simultaneously. One type consists of multifunctional materials such as carbon fibres reinforced in a structural electrolyte matrix.
This type of batteries is commonly referred to as “structural batteries”. Two general methods have been explored to develop structural batteries: (1) integrating batteries with light and strong external reinforcements, and (2) introducing multifunctional materials as battery components to make energy storage devices themselves structurally robust.
Such composites can be designed using carbon fibres as the battery anode , reinforcing batteries in the through-thickness direction [1,4,5], and using co-continuous liquid electrolyte/epoxy in the polymer matrix phase [6,7].
Concluding remarks This paper presents a review of the recent advances in modelling structural battery composites, which store electrochemical energy and carry structural loads. As a battery, electrochemical cycling induces mechanical phenomena, such as deformation, damage, and degradation.
The mechanical performance of a composite is influenced by the design and properties of its components. For structural batteries, the rigidity under bending is an important engineering criterion, which depends on whether the reinforcing components are placed inside or outside the battery.
Specifically, multifunctional composites within structural batteries can serve the dual roles of functional composite electrodes for charge storage and structural composites for mechanical load-bearing.
